I love stories where the prim and proper, and slightly annoying Miss, gets under the skin of the cool, aloof lord with a deep, dark secret! Maia is the sister of vampire hunter Chas Woodmore. While he's off trying not to get killed by nasty vampires, he has entrusted his sisters to the Earl of Corvindale for safe-keeping. Even though Corvindale is a vampire, he's been trying to break his ties to Lucifer for over a hundred years. He has denied his cravings for so long, but he has an instant attraction to Miss Woodmore that may lead to his undoing...or his redemption. The Earl of Corvindale has painstakingly kept his life as a vampire very secret - and his heart even more heavily guarded. When Chas Woodmore leaves the Earl with the distasteful task of watching over his sisters, Dimitri has to juggle expectations of escorting these ladies about town with his desperate search to rid himself of this bloodthirsty curse. It seems the feelings are mutual since Maia Woodmore feels that she is fully capable of handling society without a male guardianship. Will the headstrong, already betrothed Miss Woodmore be the death of Dimitri - or will she be the answer to breaking his curse? I have been on a romance kick lately, and I thought I'd try some historical paranormal out of curiosity. The Vampire Dimitri was a pretty decent read with ballgowns and tortured souls, but nothing that made me go over-the-moon. Good romantic tension, good action, good characters, interesting vampire politics - it just needed a little bit more special oomph to thoroughly ravish me over to the dark side. That said, I am still curious enough to check out the rest of the series to learn more about the other vampires.
Do You like book Le Maître De Minuit (2014)?
Regency vampires. What's not to love? Awesome series.
